On a side note I'm really liking the William Reilly pick. He's having a pretty good season too.

Most fans here are high on Clayton Phillips, but I have a feeling Reilly will become the better of the two.

Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the later round picks turned into something decent. Phillips may or may not be better than that player but he’s 2 years younger than Reilly so I don’t expect we’ll find out soon. At least Reilly and Phillips aren’t in the mold of doing nothing offensively at lower levels.

Not going to read too much into it, but Hallander looks solid defensively but isn't showing anything offensively.

Good news is he's being trusted with PK unit minutes and late in games when holding a lead. Bad news is he's nowhere to be found when Sweden is looking for offense.

Because his line mostly plays defensive situations and gets zero offensive situations. Then its pretty hard to get something going. I think its weird how they use him tbh. In Timrå in the SHL(probably the 2nd best league outside tje NHL) he plays top minutes, 1st powerplay and is 2nd in points among juniors behind Bemström. He should be in a top line for sure, but the coach in Sweden apparently have his favourites. Thats how it is, but dont worry about his offensive play, because it is really good. Most important is that he have an offensive role in Timrå.

Good to hear. It would be great if he developed into more of a middle six forward than a bottom six one.

The return of the Jord. An explos... better not use that term with him. But very good. Likewise Addison - one can only presume Lethbridge had a good month. Ditto Almeida. Fantastic start to the monthly stats.

Poor month for Drozg in the Q but rather predictably tore D1B to pieces (5 points ahead of 2nd highest scoring forward in tournament) with a decent 3 point improvement on last year. Lauzon is yet to play but his return is meant to be really soon. Yes, that is copy pasted.

D'Orio is not in monthly stats as I can't figure out how to do them. See below for updated totals.

Almeida and Bellerive sit at 13th and 14th for scoring respectively. Almedia is 5th for assists, Addison 9th and Bellerive 14th; Addison is tied 1st in dman scoring, although he's played a lot more than Ty Smith.

Paylychev is tied 17th for scoring in the NCAA, Bjorkqvist tied 34th. Paylychev is tied 15th (with a lot of other people) for goals, Bjorkqvist tied 25th. Phillips is tied 11th for points among U20 dmen.

Yikes, Connor Hall and Zach Lauzon in back to back years. Hopefully Lauzon will play again as I'm guessing Hall's career is done though he could go play hockey for a Canadian University. Can't imagine it is easy to rehab both shoulders.
